Product Description

From the Adirondacks to the Catskills, from The Big Apple to the orchards on Lake Ontario’s shores, from the Allegheny Plateau to the Tug Hill Plateau to the Helderbergs, and from Lake Champlain to Cassadaga Lake to Canandaigua Lake, ghosts exist. They always have, as long as human beings hunted, fought, farmed, worked and lived in the region now called New York State. David J. Pitkin, historian and ghost researcher, shares 120 true modern ghost stories garnered from all parts of NY State. Most of these have never before been published and should be enjoyable, if a bit scary, to lovers of history and mystery.

Wide spectrum of all kinds of haunts in NY5
This is a very full 352 pages of all kinds of hauntings around the state of New York. There is no lack of any area you might be interested in: haunted houses, inns, offices, and public buildings. The writing is well done and appropriately mixed with verbatim firsthand accounts. I especially like that Mr. Pitkin includes a photo with most of his entries so it's easy to picture the settings as he describes them in detail. With its wide variety of interesting accounts, I'd definitely recommend this book.

Proof that Upstate New York is full of the living dead. This region is always creepy... read this book and you will know why!! previous reviewer made a mistake with his star rating. Great book
